What makes our program unique?

Unlink most programs in our area, Mahwah's youth wrestling program boasts two teams. One consists of all the wrestlers of our entire program from kindergarten to 8th grade, matched against other wrestlers of their same age, weight & experience. The other team is run just like a High School dual team that competes with set weight classes with the full High School atmosphere.

To maximize the success of both our teams, we have set practices geared towards the experience level of our wrestlers.
